Successful completion of our project: Macedonian Mentoring Network (MMN): School-based teachers developing together with preservice teachers

We’re thrilled to announce that on 17 January 2025, we celebrated one very remarkable accomplishment: the formation of our very own Mentoring Special Interest Group (SIG) within the dynamic world of ELTAM MK!

It was born within our project: “Macedonian Mentoring Network (MMN): School-based teachers and pre-service teachers”, with the support of A.S. Hornby Educational Trust and the Faculty of Philology "Blaze Koneski", Skopje. We’ve trained 45 incredible mentors — ready to ignite a passion for teaching and learning like never before!

A massive shout out to everyone who made this initiative a success! Together, we’re building a network where experience meets enthusiasm, ideas blossom into action and education becomes a shared journey of endless discovery.

We didn’t just experience mentoring — we wrote our stories of growth, inspiration, and collaboration and published them in our very own MMN publication in English, Macedonian and Albanian! Want to read them?Follow this link https://bit.ly/4hlkIp8 and dive into the real-life tales of mentorship magic.

This is just the beginning! We are about to set sail of phase 2 of our project! Wait for our call and join us as we write the next chapter of this extraordinary mentoring story!
